My mom tried to teach me how to crochet when I was a little girl. I mastered the single stitch, but never understood how to make a granny square. She passed away 10 years ago and I thought the tradition of baby blankets and afghans went with her. I stumbled on your video and you now have me cranking out granny squares and I can't stop! My mom would be so proud. Thank you so much. I look forward to continuing to learn other stitches from you. My mom's hobby feels like my own. 💕

Same thing with me! Are used to watch my grandma whip out Afghan after afghan and I always wanted to learn but never took the time to ask anyone. She died about five years ago and I wanted to learn how to crochet so that I could feel more connected to her and I learned everything from this channel! Jayda is the best teacher!

I am so happy I found this video after trying four others. I just couldn't figure out which holes to go through and thought I was doing something wrong because my initial crochet looked circular. You even explained this. The slow and steady pace and the fact that the entire video covered the whole granny square really helped for someone who is self-learning from youtube videos like myself. Kudos to what sounded like your very patient husband who was awesome enough to record the whole process for you and did a fantastic job zooming the camera in when he needed to.

Hi Jayda; I know that you have a lot of followers ie: friends but I want you to know that with ALL the video's that are on line to pick from, I didn't nor could I find comfort from anyone to teach me. Not to drag this out and bore you to sleep but my husband of 28 years died suddenly from a brain aneurysm on October 1, 2012. from that day forth I was unable to pick up a hook for the life of me, I had crocheted daily and like many you know made weddings gifts, baby shower gifts etc etc but that came to a grinding halt. Until I stumbled on your video. THANK YOU for allowing me to return to what I loved and cherished. The very first night I went to bed and I kept saying over & over I could hear you say " when you go to bed you will be saying " Chain Chain Chain..." And so it began. Know your kindness, gentle way of explaining and not treating many like second hand people. AGAIN gentle hugs to you and thanks for returning a craft which brought smiles to many especially myself since the death of my spouse. Your Hooker Friend for life; Colleen J. Schanz

Colleen Schanz Thank you so much for your kind words, Colleen :) I'm very sorry to hear about your husband's passing, such an awful shock, it's no wonder your interest in crafts went quiet for awhile. I have heard so many beautiful stories from people about how crafting has helped them to find themselves again, to bring them some peace and contentment, and it comes from a sweet place. I'm so happy to think that crochet has brought the smile back to your face, and I'm delighted to think that I could be part of that in some small way :) Welcome back to the beautiful craft and welcome to the family!

This is the best site to learn granny squares. Every other sites I've been to says to do 3 sets of D.C In each corner. I found it to be very crowded and klutzy. Other sites say to go right to the center hole without doing a chain st. It's a big jump! I like your method best. I am, however, having a horrible time getting the right tension. I've watched a couple of sites recommending to hold the yarn in various position. I've tried them all and haven't been able to get the hang of it. Once in a while my stitch looks great with no gaps. I have no idea what I did! I have spent many, many all day marathons trying to get the right tension. Following your instructions my square came out very decent. I love the way it looks, despite that some of my stitches were kind of loose. I hope I can master the tension soon. I haven't really been able to enjoy working on my squares yet. Anybody have any good ideas for getting the right tension?

@JaydaInStitches Жыл бұрын

hi Roberta! It's just practice...and believe it or not, ignoring the tension. If you focus on the stitches, on the pattern, on turning corners and counting shells etc. but ignore what your yarn-feeding hand is doing, it will literally figure out the best way to hold and feed your yarn on it's own! I know that sounds crazy, but with repeated action, our bodies figure out ways to do things more efficiently, and tendons and muscles adjust to new requirements. It's amazing! It just takes a little time and trust that it will work out...it always does 💗

My boss there showed a few of us at lunch time how to crochet. Have not tried since until now. The way you show it is really good, after I got going I thought back then & could not believe how it came back to me.

Jayda, I'm 66 but always ready t learn something new! Your beginner's tutorial was brilliant!! Your instructions and paused manner and repetitions were just what I needed to finally learn to do a granny square... It took me an hour daily to finally perfect it (despite I had to undo it several times but my resilience and your patience were there with me!! Many thanks !!! I will certainly continue following you!

My wife found your instructions THE BEST after trying to master crocheting for years. She now has a fabulous collection of Granny Squares after only one week and is aiming for her first blanket which is a great achievement - she is so happy to have finally got the hang of this and the results speak for themselves thanks to your great tutorial video.

I can’t tell you how grateful I am, I was ready to give up but my little square looks fantastic and I can’t stop staring at it 😂. I’m 64 and never got the hang of it, found knitting easier because that’s what my mum taught me but hey no, I’m going to keep with your channel and will recommend to all my friends and family.

You knocked it out of park. Super great tutorial. Granny squares were the first thing I learned to make when I was 8. My great gramma taught all us girls how to crochet 🧶 but just the basics, can’t read a pattern and I have no idea 🤷🏼‍♀️ how to finish a project off. Now, up teen years later I’m trying again. I have a 2yo grandson who I want to make a blanket for. I bought so much stuff on Amazon including two books for beginners but trying to read what to do is harder than I thought. Books are going back to Amazon because the way you teach is so much easier!!! I’m a visual learner so this is perfect for me. Thank You 😊 officially a new subscriber!!

Hi PaperCranes! You are so welcome! If you're going to start collecting yarn, might I also suggest hitting up your local second hand stores because I find people are always donating "unwanted" yarn, hooks and notions (like buttons, thread, sewing kits etc). I've made some wicked finds thrifting yarn (garage sales too, now that I think of it) including beautiful vintage yarns, which are perfect for highlighting in a granny square :) Happy Crafting!!
